S-U-Double C -E- Double S.Throughout our lives we striveTo reach a state we can’t define.How, then, do we arrive?

“Be motivated to achieveSuccess in life”, they say.And most of us buy into itAnd seek to find our way.We learn the masters’ teachings,From Zig and Og and such.We strive to see them at the top.Eight habits? There’s so much!

When I was just a little tykeMy parents did instillThe message that I had to beThe best, and that I willWork twice as hard as all the restJust to be judged as equal.Live to the fullest for today;Don’t wait to live life’s sequel.

If we step back and look withinOurselves I think we’ll findThe essence of the experts’ wordsThat reach the heart and mindIs that “SUCCESS” is personal,Defined by each our own.With actions spanning all our lives.That’s how success is known.

Transition, next, to young adult;My future to unfold.The time had come to practice allThat I’d been taught and told.More times than not I found them true.The key was goals and action;To not give up. To try again.Maintain a forward traction.

(Chorus at the end)

S-U- Double C -E- Double S.Throughout our lives we striveTo reach that state we must define.And then we can arrive.
